The first wheel 110 and the second wheel 120 may include at least one segment corresponding to the multimedia content file. The segment may refer to a part of the multimedia content file, which may be displayed in visually different forms according to a type of the multimedia content file. For example, when the multimedia content file is a language learning file, the segment may be a chapter or a sentence included in the language learning file, sectionalized in advance. The segments included in the first wheel 110 and the second wheel 120 may be displayed in visually different forms. For example, a first segment 111 included in the first wheel 110 may be displayed visually differently from a second segment 112. To be more specific, when the multimedia content file includes a first sentence going “Have you answered yes to any of the questions above?” and a second sentence going “If so, there is a chance that you may have a video game addiction” and those sentences are distinguished in advance, the first segment 111 may be a visual expression corresponding to the first sentence of “Have you answered yes to any of the questions above?” and the second segment 112 may be a visual expression corresponding to the second sentence of “If so, there is a chance that you may have a video game addiction.” Different color effects may be applied to the first sentence and the second sentence, or the first sentence and the second sentence may be displayed with different numbers. Thus, the UI providing apparatus may control playback the multimedia content file in units of the segments, by displaying the multimedia content file in units of the segment.
The playback state information 130 of the multimedia content file being played may be displayed in a space between the first wheel 110 and the second wheel 120.
